What Academic Subject Areas Can Botanic Gardens Contribute at Undergraduate Level?
As well as the many branches of the biological sciences and horticulture botanic gardens can provide an environment for the teaching of other subjects such as biodiversity conservation, geography, forestry agriculture, and landscaping. Also related technologies such as furniture making, food technologies, medicine as well as maths and other sciences such as chemistry and physics can all find relevance in a botanic garden. Other less obvious subject areas include: architecture, art, design, history, anthropology, sociology, town and country planning, engineering, social work/community studies, marketing, business management and music.
